Introducing Scratch by Miss Capalbo & Mrs. Dlott

Students created projects using "Scratch", a programming language developed by the "Lifelong Kindergarten Group" at the MIT lab. The program is designed to help children ages 8+ learn the skills of the 21st century. Students learn how to program characters called Sprites to make them move, talk, and change appearance.
